As detailed to the Deputy in reply to Parliamentary Question No 31509-16 and several related Parliamentary Questions this Rent Supplement was closed on 21^stDecember 2015 as a result of information requested from the client not being submitted. It was also outlined to the Deputy that the client should make a new application for Rent Supplement if she wished to further their application.

The client needs to confirm all monies received as a result of her family law settlement, evidence of monies withdrawn and the remaining balance. Rent Supplement is a means tested payment and a decision cannot be made without this documentation.

I trust that this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
